Army Justice Critics Were Threatened
Washington Aug 26 Charges that Secretary Baker Maj Gen Noel H Crowder Judge Advocate General and Gouver Jobn J Wigmore established a propaganda bureau to discredit critics of the existing military justice system and to defend the system were made before a senate military affairs committee today by Lemuel T Ansell formerly acting judge advocate general. Ansell said several officers and about fourteen clerks were assigned to duty in the bureau to statements to the press and to Congress. He also charges that officers who criticised the system were hunted, threatened and disciplined, while those who defended it were promoted. It is a well known fact that the weakest grade in the army is the officer. Many of our generals are jokes to everybody in the world, except themselves.
